Case: New Student Lacking Appropriate Social Skills I just received a new special needs student in my classroom from another state. He has had a very difficult time adjusting to our classroom and school rules. During the time he is in my regular ed classroom, he constantly hums or sings during independent work time, he refuses to complete work, and he has difficulty showing respect towards adults and acknowledging when someone is addressing his behavior. I would consider myself a moderately strict teacher and I make is a priority to stay consistent with the students. It is already March and we are heading into testing time. What are some ways that I can quickly get this child on the right track so that I can focus my attention on covering standards instead of behavior? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) In a classroom that I was interning in my teacher had a student that had problems staying on track and following directions and I was able to help by just connecting with the student. I just took a bit of extra time to learn more about the student and tried to phrase things differently so that he wanted to do the work or got excited. I would also try to talk to the school's special education teacher and see what more the school can do to help. Maybe the student needs an aid, this aid can also give them the attention that they need. You can also try finding out who the student's previous teacher was and try and see if they have any tips for you. I would also consider trying to talk to the parents and see if they have learned any tricks or have any helpful information, however this can be tricky because they parents can think that their child is in trouble and discipline the student. but maybe the parents can help you create an incentive program that follows into their home life. such as if the students follows the rules and does their work they get to do something special at home like extra TV time or ipad time. |
